For as long as I have been old enough to celebrate my birthday, I have always eagerly awaited the week, well, the month when we turn to Leo and everybody gets to celebrate. The events of late have had me spinning and I almost forgot that I have a birthday next week. I am even having trouble wrapping around the fact that tomorrow is first day of August. No, wait--I wanna catch up and start my inner party planning.

Today, there was major sports news that (my) Ken Griffey, Jr. has been traded to the Chicago White Sox. Say it isn't so....

Speaking of caffeine---which is oft my case---I was intrigued and bemused to know that if I were so inclined, I could order caffeine infused, cellulite deterrent pantyhose! Imagine my surprise that I could not only offset the unpleasantness of burgeoning celluite on my body, but while doing so, I cou…

As a very young girl, I often dreamed of a way that I could somehow publish and share my feelings and creative ideas. Short of saving up enough money to take out a full-page ad in the NY Times, I did the best I could with telling my story or the occasional burst of poetic overflow to those near and dear to me.
Therefore, blogging is the ideal manifestation of a means by which my esoteric and quirky points of view would not only have expression but just might resonate with the readers.
Take a breath. You are welcome to join me.
